Nanjing Tanker, the Shanghai-listed owner under the China Merchants Group, has a new chairman.
The company said in a filing that Yi Zhang had resigned as chair due to job changes. He has held the position since April 2022 and previously served as deputy general manager at China Merchants Port Holdings, chief operational officer and general manager at China Merchants Port Group and secretary at Zhanjiang Port Group.
Nanjing Tanker’s board has elected Lei Ding, vice president at China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), and former general manager at Hong Kong Ming Wah Shipping, to take over the helm. Ding (52) also acted as the deputy general manager of COFCO Keystone Supply Chain Investment and the general manager of China Merchants Logistics before he joined CMES.
Established in 1993, Nanjing Tanker currently controls a fleet of more than 70 ships. Last year, the company launched a fleet renewal programme, which saw a series of at least eight tanker newbuilds booked at domestic yards.
